That’s interesting! I’m waiting to get it approved and willing to try it!
Recently I’ve done Taltz injections, Actemera injections, and Rinvoq orally with no relief at all!
I’m so hoping the Orencia helps!
Thank you!

I’m not a fan of my rheumatologist either. Well in 2-1/2 years I’ve only seen her three times. I always see the PA which isn’t very helpful!
I’ve been on all of the same meds you mentioned!
I have an appointment with a new rheumatologist but not until end of December and I made the appointment in March. You can’t get appointments these days unless you wait months and months! I agree that they are not very compassionate! They just don’t realize the pain we’re in!
Hang in there and good luck to you!

I have been on orencia but now I inject myself every week with Actemera, its about 1-2 years, my doctor said all my blood work is good, I still get pain every day but I learned to live with it, when real bad I take my tramadol.

Oh boy! I was hoping when I started doing Orencia injections I would get some relief quickly! I should know better because when I did the Rinvoq orally, Actemera and Taltz injections I didn’t get any relief!
So when doing the Orencia they took you off everything else that you were taking? Hmm! They didn’t tell me to stop taking anything! I better check with them again.
Thank you so much for your input!
Hope you’re having an OK day!
